Blue Ray? Nope, Got ' Georgia On My Mind'... RAY CHARLES

from American Blues Scene's photo.

O.K....Today saw this photo of RAY CHARLES  and HERE ,on FACEBOOK  from AMERICAN BLUES SCENE, it reminded me of that Ray Charles cool song, Georgia On My Mind'.
When BARTLETT played with MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals and KENNY WILLIAMSON/drums in McKenna, WA. @ Liquid Soul Coffee Roasters, Salinas sang 'Rainy Night In Georgia'' by Ray Charles.
'Georgia On My Mind was written by HOAGY CARMICHAEL and STUART GORRELL in 1930. Ray Charles's cover of that tune is the one version that most folks remember...I do anyway, WILLIE NELSON, LOUIS ARMSTONG, DAVE BRUBECK, DEAN MARTIN, BRENDA LEE, GLENN MILLER and many others also recorded this cover. Ray Charles was born in the State of Georgia and recorded the song in 1960. It's on his album called 'THE GENIUS HITS THE ROAD'. It became Georgia's State song in 1979. For more, go HERE.
The song is listed as the number one song of Charles by ANN SIPER . Here's her top ten Ray Charles Song List:
"1. Georgia on My Mind
2. Mess Around
3. I Got a Woman
4. What'd I Say
5. Shake Your Tail Feathers
6. You are My Sunshine
7. Unchain My Heart

9. I Can't Stop Loving you
10. You Don't Know Me"
